An Angry Moose in Silicon Valley

Angry Moose is Nuvation’s Canadian version of Angry Birds, but we chose the real world instead of a video game as the best place to play – with a real catapult, and real animals (okay, real stuffed toy animals). Instead of tossing birds into blocks, we catapult beavers (what else eh?) through beer cans to knock down the forest critters who stole our Moose’s beer (which made him angry…). We 3D-printed the catapult, created an iPad GUI, and run the catapult’s motor controls with an Altera Cyclone V SoC FPGA.
